Egnatia vs Borac Banja Luka Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals
Bosnian champions Borac Banja Luka head into Wednesday's return leg of their UEFA Champions League 1st qualifying round clash against Albanians Egnatia Rrogozhinë with a slender advantage. A dramatic 96th-minute goal by substitute Damir Hrelja secured a 1-0 victory for Borac BB in the first leg at Gradski Stadion.
In a bad-tempered first-leg the visitors were reduced to nine men with eight Egnatia players receiving either a yellow or red card. Egnatia had held firm for over 90 minutes in Bosnia but now require a win at Elbasan Arena to maintain hopes of going to the second round.
Evenly-matched on paper, both teams have limited experience at this level, and another tight contest seems likely in Albian.
Egnatia have seen under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches, and in four of their last six at Elbasan Arena. Edlir Tetova´s side struggled to create chances in the first leg, while they have failed to net in their last three home fixtures.
Knowing a draw will be enough to secure their progress to the second round, I expect Borac to adopt a defensive strategy on Wednesday. Mladen Žižović´s side are in good form, picking up victories in their last three matches, with clean sheets kept in two of this wins.
While a tough match to call, the nature of last week´s bad-tempered first-leg suggests we should expect a similarly low-scoring encounter. As such, under 2.5 goals is my top tip at Gradski Stadion.
